    My Boyfriend. Am I To Needy?
    Hi. My name's Amanda. I have an amazing boyfriend, and he is completely perfect. We have been dating for a while, six months. We've been best friends for like ever though. We have the best relationship ever, and I am definitely not the only person who said that. My parents told us, our friends, his friends, everyone we know actually. lol. And I am not over exaggerating. We're not the type to yell. I mean we argue, but when we do we talk, we've never yelled at each other. And we're always joking, and know when and when not to take thing seriously. We're literally perfect for each other. But lately we've been spending a lot of time together. And I am afraid that he's going to start to get annoyed of me. He always says that he wants to spend that much time with me more than I could ever know. But I am afraid that I ask to hang out too much. Is it wrong to want to spend every day with him. Is it wrong to not be able to be completely happy without him. I'm so confused. Does anyone have some good advice?

    It is always good to have some time apart.

    I believe from your post that you are both still young. Time together is wonderful, but maintaining your own friends and time with family is beneficial to a relationship as well.

    Do what feels comfortable and just keep your lines of communication open, so that neither of you feels neglected with quality alone time, maybe establish those days now.

    Imagine what people do when they are married for 30-40 years, still enjoy each other, love each other, play together, and are happy in general. It isn't easy to find many of these relationships, but they exist. And I can tell you, it is worth it to learn how to make such a relationship.

    When you are together be together. When you need space, to be alone, to be with other friends, let go and let each other have that freedom. Then, you choose each moment together. Be honest about what you need and what you are, and give each other room to do the same. Then, you never have to hide and no one will be annoyed.

    All good advice so far. My comment would be not to make him your entire life.

    Continue to hang out with your friends and spend time doing other things with other people. It will make your time together all the more perfect. Being joined at the hip isn't good for any relationship because eventually the novelty wears off and you can become too co-dependent.

    Sure you may miss him when he's not there, but again, it will be great when you se him.

    It's not emotionally healthy to just have one person that you spend time with in your life.

    A little time apart now and then gives you guys time to miss each other. Like the other said, spend time with your friends too. The biggest mistake I made in my first long term relationship was spending all my time with my boyfriend and hardly any with my best friends. Don't let that happen to you.

    Time apart is never a bad thing, it allows you both to have individual lives that you can share with each other but also keep separate

    As long as you guys are having fun together and enjoying each other's company. Don't create problems when there are none. If you feel like you guys are spending a lot of time together, then spend some time apart to do your own thing.
